to bring bills to the floor unless they got a majority support from republicans. speaker john boehner of ohio violated that longstanding rule last night and in the process he became the only member of the leadership of his party who voted in favor of the bill. eric cantor and kevin mccarthy joined the majority of their party in voting no. boehner did find support from one key republican, paul ryan of wisconsin also voted yes. the main sticking point for republicans, a lack of spending cuts. hours before last night's votes, republicans considered trying to amend the bill from the senate and add additional spending cuts in. the senate made it clear they had no intention of revisiting this idea. so if changes were made that would essentially kill it. before the vote, republicans took to the floor and voiced their concerns. >> there are no spending cuts. we're adding $4 billion a day to the debt. the senate failed in cutting spending. >> i thought we were in a deficit crisis. i thought families were put at risk by this massive debt. what does this do about that? >> it was way past those s

. this slide began since last thursday. that was when house speaker john boehner failed to bring his plan b for avoiding the fiscal cliff. he failed to bring that to a vote. the market has been selling off a bit every single day because nothing has happened to make investors feel like a deal is going to be reached. news of the meeting today happening at the white house this afternoon, that did help stocks make a comeback late yesterday. but they are selling off once again. it's fun ny you how things can change so quickly. there's just not that much confidence that a deal is going to get done. the market doesn't want a band-aid. one trader said it's too late for that. what the market is looking for is a full deal. >> all right. alison kosik at the new york stock exchange. thank you for that. >>> every 19 minutes someone dies of a drug overdose. most are not from elicit drugs, but fda drugs prescribed to millions of americans. dr. sanjay gupta reports. >> reporter: i rode along with lieutenant craig. he's been on the job for 30 years. he will tell you when he takes an overdose call, the usual

off speaker boehner needs to take the deal that was struck and passed in the senate and needs to see where his house republicans stand on this. of course i think the expectation is that if he were to put it to a vote in the house it would pass, there would be democratic support for it and there would also be some republican support. the question, is there enough republican support as it is right now to just put it up for a vote. republicans may look at it and say we want to change some things, make it more to our liking so they could propose some amendments. it's possible they could change it but joe, even if they were to go through that process, it is something that could still happen very quickly but we're waiting to see what comes out of a meeting today between the speaker and his republicans. >> now this deal certainly buys some time, but is the white house a little bit concerned that they're going to have to fight this battle again in a couple months? >> no doubt about it. they know this is a reality. the president knows this is a reality, all of his aides know that as well. the
